Jefferson SPCA, East Jefferson General Hospital teaming up for pet Adopt-A-Thon

Jefferson SPCA is teaming up with East Jefferson General Hospital employees to showcase Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter's adoptable animals at the Clearview Mall Pet Adopt-A-Thon July 20 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Jefferson SPCA hopes to help the Jefferson Parish Shelter during the summer months, when the shelter sees a higher intake of animals.

The JSPCA, with the help of EJGH employees, will sell raffle tickets and baked items to benefit the Jefferson SPCA’s Heartworm Fund, as well as showcase dozens of homeless adoptable pets.

The Jefferson SPCA is a nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization created to assist the Jefferson Parish Animal Shelter, prevent cruelty to animals and provide relief, aid and adoptions for homeless pets. The Jefferson SPCA also administers a spay/neuter program and provides heartworm treatments for shelter dogs that would otherwise be euthanized.
